Hey, that gave me some good ideas! I was just going to make something exactly like this for dinner and now with some new ideas! Ok, and while I'm on a blog about your talents, can I say this is so random - but lately I've been thinking about your lovely voice. Nothing in particular, just thinking- hmm, remember what a beautiful voice Karen has?
ReplyDeleteUm I think I just drooled on my keyboard...
